I used to make my own PCB's
for home-use, ...... see http://www.aplomb.nl/TechStuff/PCB_s/UVsource_PCB.html
......... but the ElecFreaks offer is very tempting, and not only now (
December 2012 )

This results in:
Just $ 2.50 per pcb ??? !!! Yes, and with fair shipping rates:
Not too bad huh ? ;-)
And now (December 2012) you can choose a soldermask color at no extra costs,
.... and even shipping is free !
And when you are at the ElecFreaks-site, have a look at these other goodies as well
(just a random selection of what I am interested in)
Freaduino Leonardo for $ 19,-
or this shield: turn your Arduino/Freeduino/Freaduino into an MP3-player, for $ 24,-
And this one: GPRS/GSM Shield -EFCom for $ 48,-
Need I say more ?
Happy shopping !
